I recently started playing out again after a 22 year sabbatical. Decided to put together a proper Pedal Board which I was very happy with...until I decided to upgrade from my old FX90 Delay to a newer one, the new MXR EP-103 Echoplex Delay.

I'm having trouble with it not getting enough power from my Pedal Power, not a Pedal Power 2 or 2+, the original one. My searching has found answers for the 2 & 2+ but not the original. The Owners Manual is long gone and all I can find is a Pedal Power 2 Manual online...so...

I can get the EP-103 to operate using the supplied wallwart directly into the power strip so I know that's not the issue. The issue with the Wallwart is that with the Pedal Power in the Pedaltrain I can't plug it into the AC Auxiliary due it's orientation. And I wanted to stay away from using the Wallwart.

I have all the DIP Switches set to not "ON", so that must be OFF on the 2 & 2+, for 9v operation.

The problem you are seeing is that the EP-103 has a current demand of almost 250mA, but the outputs on an original Pedal Power are each limited to about 80mA.

Is the problem with using the Courtesy Outlet that the MXR supply cannot reach thru the back of the pedalboard? If so you can use one of those Gray Grounding Plug Adapters to fill the space and it is perfectly safe to use here as the power supply has no ground pin anyway.
